Has anyone took there moped muding or in bumpy grass? My ride feels as tho I'm riding a jack hammer, Is there any way i can make the front fork softer and the back? I'm scared that ill brake the engine case or something big. I'm fairly light like 130 pounds. Oh I think a kymco agility make a nice dirtped because of tall clearance and big tires!

You can drain the fork oil, and replace it with a lighter weight version. Kymcos usually have 20 weight oil, and something like 8 wt will give a softer ride. Measure it correctly.
You could also heat the fork spring cherry red, and let it air cool. That will take some of the "spring" property out of it making it softer.
Same for the rear shock spring but you have to heat IT ON the shock so be careful not to heat the piston rod or you will melt the seal.
It's alot easier to throw the bike off a bridge tho. Kymcos will last almost as long off - roading as it takes to fall from 30 feet
-
Off road is fun but the front forks cant handle that you will bend theam.
-
Why would make it not last that long zombie?

It's a Kymco Bro!
These are monotube, robot welded, chromoly frames using springs for the 3-4 inches of suspension travel they have. Out of approx. 100 pounds of metal perhaps 5 pounds is steel. The rest is cast aluminium. A common sling shot, and ball bearing is enough to put your bike in the shop.
Your question should be which is better for surfing big waves, a mountain bike, or a dvd player.
Everything on your Kymco will fall off or break. (riding off road)
Before everyone chimes in about the grassy knowl, or the rolling hills they ride 300 miles each way to commute to the coal mines everyday... I'm talking about trying to keep up with your friends YZ-80 thru the woods or thrashing it around on the local BMX track.

Haha ok thanks
-
wana good scoot for off road check out the rough house scoots they are made to play a little rough with.
-
Get a Yamaha TTX Adventure scooter... ;)
-
Need $$$$ to get anything else
-
Start a Kymco Moto Cross track. Races on Saturday, and all day Sunday.
That won't make you any $$$'s but the repair shop you're gonna open across the street will.
I'll expect my 5% Gross every Friday to make sure nothing happens to your shop. 8)

Haha nice wanted to make a dirtped track just the thought of making a moped Moto cross track sounds cool oh dont forget the manual car wash to make some more cash
-

Thanks for catching that MoTo!
It will cost you 20% GROSS now Mr. SCOOTER learner. You're already late, and my boys are getting... twitchy.
-
Don't worry it will open very soon ahh.... ok it's now open the farmer doesn't know

Forget off-roading! I still want to get a bunch of scooter folks together at the local drag strip for some 1/4 mile runs! That would be entertaining as hell! ;D
-
1/4 mile takes about 1/2 hr per run LOL
You want 1/32nd mile to keep it interesting, and fair.

2012.7.1 KMRC Scooter Drag Racing SS1/32Mile (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tww0GVPTsSQ#ws)
Just to compare... 1/4 mile scooter is like 3 mile drag racing nobody likes 28 second run times
150cc GY6 Scooter - 1/4 Mile Track EDIT (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J4nXI1wzI5Q#ws)

1/4 mile can be done in 12-13 seconds ... 2t full mod...
Fastest I know of at 300 meters is 10.496 seconds on a Honda Dio 90cc...
